The San Antonio Junta de Ajuste convened on May 19, 2025, to address several key issues regarding property regulations and community concerns. The meeting began with discussions surrounding a property not included in the neighborhood association, which faced opposition from local residents. Notably, 30 individuals were notified about the meeting but did not respond.
The council members raised questions regarding the status of hotel occupancy taxes for a specific unit, identified as 82 11. It was noted that this unit had not paid its hotel taxes for March, prompting further inquiries into compliance with local regulations.
Verónica Valerio, the owner of the property in question, presented her case to the council. She explained that she acquired the property last year with the intention of engaging with the community. Valerio acknowledged that she was unaware of certain zoning regulations at the time of purchase and had not received complaints from neighbors or the homeowners association regarding her property's operation.
During her testimony, Valerio emphasized her commitment to adhering to community guidelines, including noise restrictions and prohibitions on parties and pets. She mentioned that she had previously applied for a permit, which was denied, and was now seeking approval for a second time to operate the property.
The council members continued to seek clarification on whether Valerio held multiple permits for her properties, to which she responded that she did not. Valerio expressed her desire to maintain her involvement in the community following her retirement from military service.
As the meeting progressed, the council deliberated on the implications of the discussions, focusing on the need for compliance with local regulations and the importance of community engagement. The outcome of the meeting and any decisions made regarding Valerio's permit request were not detailed in the transcript, leaving the next steps for the council and the property owner pending.
